colors complement the shade isn't always so simple. Check out these
pictures for ideas on modern bedroom color schemes that work. <br /><br /><img border="0" class="zName" height="400" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3370/3250504011_46aeef8d0a_m.jpg" title="Picture" width="313" /><br />Chocolate brown, blue and white or tan is a fool-proof scheme that looks modern and very sophisticated. <br /><br /><img border="0" class="zName" height="400" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3316/3257674456_e830389d84_m.jpg" title="Picture" width="326" /><br />When
using light colors like tan, white and pale blue, throw some
reddish-pink accents in. It looks modern and adds so much interest to
the space. <br /><br /><img border="0" class="zName" height="346" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3535/3215468145_bd720cf845_m.jpg" title="Picture" width="400" /><br />A
honey yellow (not neon) looks fantastic with earthy green tones and
natural wood.

<div id="article-content">
November and December is the time of year for holiday decorating.
Granted, not everyone celebrates Christmas, but for those of us who do,
putting up decorations keeps our family traditions alive and it
brightens our homes during the shortest days - and darkest months - of
the year. But what if you're trying to sell your home during the
holidays? Do you still put up decorations and lights? Absolutely! But
keep from going overboard with these few tips for celebrating the
holidays while selling your home.<br />
1. Go Light on the Lights.
Putting up fewer lights inside and out lets potential buyers see how
simpler lighting is still beautiful. First-time buyers will see just how
easy it is to start off their decorating on a starter-home budget. They
can use their imagination to figure out ways of adding on to their
holiday decorations as they live in the house from one year to the next.<br />
2.
Keep Decorations Generic and Minimal. Both indoor and outdoor
decorations should be kept simple. The fewer the decorations, the
better. For one thing, generic and minimal decorations keep your home's
lawn and interior from appearing too cluttered. As with any good
staging, the simplified decorating scheme allows potential buyers to
imagine their own decorations in the house. Minimal decorating (like
removing personal photos and items such as that) also keeps your
personal tastes out of the equation.<br />
3. Fill Your Home with
Christmas Scents. Most TV real estate shows have demonstrated how
pleasant scents work as a selling point. If you're not a holiday baker,
then find someone who is to come in and fill your house with the sweet
smell of Christmas. It could be anything from apple pie to gingerbread
men or snicker doodles. Or leave a pot of wassail (spiced cider) or warm
water with whole spices (cinnamon sticks, candied ginger, cloves, and
mace) simmering on the back burner when you know you're having an open
house or when a realtor is bringing people by for tour.<br />
What is
the main reason for keeping the decorations and lighting simple when
selling your house during the holidays? Un-decorating! If your
simplified Christmas decorations have become the selling point for your
home, you may just <a href="http://northof52.blogspot.com/">sell your house</a>
in a hurry. Which means you need to pack up your belongings - and your
decorations - quickly, so you can get moved into your own new home. The
less decorations and lights you have to remove, the better, right?<br />
A Word of Warning:
<br />If you live on the same street as someone who goes all-out with
their decorations, you might want to hold off on selling your home until
after the holidays. There are a few people in neighborhoods near mine
that get so carried away with the lights and yard decorations that they
draw huge numbers of light-lookers every year driving through the
neighborhood.<br />
I have to admit to being one of those who love to
look at these holiday lighting masterpieces. I will also tell you up
front that if I was looking for a house during the holiday season, and
found a house near one of these killer kilowatt creations that I would
not buy that house because of the traffic nightmare - even if I would
have found it a top contender otherwise. Guaranteed there are other out
there who feel the same way<br />

<div id="article-content">
Luxury Home Decorating from Women's Perspective<br />
Let's face
it. When we talk about home interior, then lady of the <a href="http://northof52.blogspot.com/">house </a>i.e. woman
of the house must get a big amount of say in it. Why?<br />
Because she
has to spend much more time in home than the men in the house. This is
more true when we are talking about the <a href="http://northof52.blogspot.com/">luxury interior</a>. This is the
topic which is discussed not only in individual homes, but also in
various places outside the homes.<br />
Take any small party specially
kitty party and you will observe that almost half of the conversation is
about the interior of the house in which the party is being held. And
the interior is discussed with great interest. Women really enjoy
discussing various aspects of the home.<br />
Not only that, they also
do the changes very actively. In fact, men are often reluctant in doing
any changes to the existing setup or arrangement. But that's not the
case with the women. They are so enthusiastic about all things of their
homes, including interior decoration & designing. Most women love
the idea of home decorating.<br />
And they do verbalize their
ideas,too. So many tips & tricks & ideas are passed among every
member present that one can simply take those and write a book about it.<br />
Are
the affluent women any different than other when it comes to luxury
decor of their homes? The answer to this question is Yes & No. Yes
because basics are same. That means the above discussed things are
really true of any women including affluent women. Means they love
talking or showing of their homes, they love to make the changes in
their homes. The idea of getting rid of the old things and bringing in
the new ones gets women all excited.<br />
No - because here comes the
question of investment, style & mind set. Normally luxury interior
needs good amount of investment. The women who want to have the best
looks for their homes spare no efforts in getting that. They are ready
to spend large amount of money in getting what they want. In fact, we
have seen our clients are ready to go distances - with their wives - to
get some part of furniture or carpet or wall decor. So that it will make
their home look complete.<br />
These women wants to get fresh &
new feelings about their homes every now & then. That's the reason
home renovation is a booming business in India. We see so many clients
every month who wants to get their homes renovated. And almost every
time the influence is of the woman in the house behind the decision.<br />
And
I may be biased here, but I feel that women do have that knack or the
sixth sense when it comes to designing their homes luxuriously.<br />
We are going to discuss various things regarding your luxury home decor in the coming articles.
<br />Till then...<br />
Have a nice home...<br />

My day today has been built up of questions and more question. I was lucky enough to take a tour round the ICU on Fulham road. Breakthrough breast cancer had invited me last year to tour this cancer research facility. The minute they mentioned laboratory and tour they caught my attention. And I would recommend/encourage everyone to take up the chance if offered.</span></div>

I listened intently to the introduction with every bit of information projected onto a white wall. At the end the man who had outlined statistics and aims of ICU and Breakthrough asked if anyone had any questions. I for once remained silent whilst one young woman asked the one and only question to do with the 40 year generation study program currently running. My soul aim of being there was to speak to the Lab technicians. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">First stop was to see fruit flies in test tubes. Why fruit flies? Well they have a shorter life span which means there cells are on a faster growth rate. What have fruit flies got to do with cancer? Well flies cells can be manipulated to get a form of cancer, but because they have a simpler and faster cell growth they can use what results they achieve and compare them too certain mammal cells. To sum it up on how I understand science. All life starts from one point and that is one cell. By manipulating that cell whether it be a fly or mammal cell its aims remain the same until its instructions for whatever reason mutate. Looking at how they change eye colour and size of eyes by stopping certain receptors within a cell down a microscope was fascinating for me. Sorry guys I worked in a museum and I was just as enthusiastic when fresh discoveries were brought in.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Second stop off point got even more interesting because we were discussing cancer cells and how they were researching blockers. They mark each cell from nucleus out and monitor its behaviour comparing notes continually with labs that have the same batch of cancer cells growing. They were closely monitoring in particular metastatic cancer cells because these cells cancer adapt from breast to liver or lung, not all cancer cells can do this. My questioning was focused on the diabetic type two debate and whether there was a connection? They spoke of how they used glucose to grow cancer cells, so it was only a matter of time before I asked. Anyone who has followed my blog would understand my interest because I am type 2. The reply I received was well we are in the middle of the 40 year generation program which is looking at genetic, environment impact and it’s implication on breast cancer. From listening to the lab technicians I came to the conclusion that until the 40 years is up there is no answer only what if’s. Then I asked is there any way I could donate my cells to the ICU lab? They said that everyone goes to one source for samples which makes it easier to compare with other lab results on that particular batch.</span></div>

They then showed us on speeded time how placing a scratch within a dish these cells adapt fast. Like a pack of octopuses out of water the cancerous tentacles reach out until the scratch that divided them is no more. They spoke of the HER2 and its importance on blocking growth. Then I asked if a man was hit between his legs and it causes scarring could he develop testicular cancer? The answer was yes and no, we cannot say for sure, but we believe there is a possibility we cannot rule out. Then I said ok. Then I said well this is actually leading to a more important question. You see two years before I was diagnosed with DCIS I was breast feeding and my child refused to feed off my left breast which happened to be the breast cancer was developing in. During my time breast feeding my left breast had developed mastitis and would continually block. Could the mastitis of scarred the ducts or become enflamed to create the right environment for cancer to develop? The possibility was there, but the cancer may have been there long before was their reply. </span></div>

The program is eight years in already, but it will take a further 32 years for this program to show some sort of comparisons or sense, but even then it could take a further ten years before those results reveal what others have pondered on. </span></div>

The younger you are in developing breast cancer the more lightly you’re at risk of it becoming metastatic. The results are frightening for any young woman reading this, but the reality of a cancer journey was not meant to be easy. The only true way to beat cancer is to keep an open mind because 1-3 will develop cancer at some point in their life time. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Are we so surprized that Colchester NHS is under fire on cancer patient care. Well I am not after what I have gone through as a cancer patient in London. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">On Thursday gone I was invited to the Imperial College, South Kensington to discuss patient care and how it should be improved. The whole experience of cancer patient care was a hot topic, but truth be known I did not know how bad it was until that day. The fact only 20 people turned up were an insult to the student doctor who arranged it, but the other two speakers who were a consultant and a Macmillan nurse made it an interesting two hours.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The statistics for London are little to be desired. London has the poorest outcomes of treatment and aftercare in the UK compared to surrounding areas in the UK. The questions amongst medical staffs at that talk was, is there serious room for improvement, and how? How can we change attitudes and improve patient cancer care?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I said it all boils down to communication breakdown. The conveyor belt of patients’ means emotional support breakdowns as well as cultural attitudes are invading hospitals. The prime proof is look at public transport in London. You walk on a bus up north you say good morning you are greeted with a smile even a reply. If you say good morning down south to a bus driver he keeps his head straight ahead with zero emotion. This exact same attitude is mimicked within hospitals in London.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I said you cannot expect perfection where treatment is concerned, but a warm bedside manner is the beginning of a patients’ experience. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">When you approach a patient’s bed without a smile and an understanding ear they think you don’t care, so they don’t care and they treat nursing staff likewise which means the attitudes on that ward fall. Treatment takes a dip because no-one takes their time because the job becomes a chore rather than about saving lives. Hospital staffs feel they are under appreciated and patients feel neglected/ignored and trust between patient and doctor is broken. There is no pride in London hospitals only number crunching and the pressure to move the patient on.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">To create a coherent harmony within NHS hospitals we most start communicating across the board starting with a warm smile which helps with building trust. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only that, but when you mess up apologise. I have not received one apology over the treatment I received. The only option I was given was to complain to PAL. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The consultant speaking at this talk said how long do you think it will take to make the changes needed to improve patient care. A student doctor replied six months. She explained she would not have a job if it was six months and it would take three years just to see improvements in the NHS on cancer patient care. It all fell on whether the consultants, nurses, doctors, cleaners, porters and receptionists were willing to make that change.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I tried to explain to these young doctors that they can remain being sheep by aspiring to be those consultants that don’t care about quality of care.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or make a change…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">You see it is not the National Health Service that is at fault, it all falls on the individuals that represent the NHS. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">If Florence Nightingale was alive today I wonder what changes she would make.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Reaction was generally positive on the west side at the second of the Zone SJ open houses to let Saint Johnners know what the city wants to do with future development over the next generation. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">West side Common Councillor Bill Farren tells CHSJ News he has heard from people in South Bay who are worried growth in their part of the city will be stymied under the new regulations. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The meeting also heard a warning about having too much intensive development in the area around Quinton Heights because it might disrupt the existing stability of the land and cause problems for existing homeowners. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The city was also urged to implement incentives like tax deferral to offset the upfront costs of redeveloping older buildings which can be steep.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Another open house will be held tonight at Lorne Middle School with the final one at Simonds High tomorrow night. They start at 5:30 with presentations at 6.</span><br />
